was this Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin Digital (Price Drop) (now $14.99, original price $29.99) a typo? i went to the psn store to get this and saw it was still going for the $29.99 and was confused. Is Persona 2: innocent sin on sale or not?
I mega fart on your update!!!! POOOP!!
Damn your poopy updates give us Legend of Dragoon!!!!! I’ve said it for 4 years now!!!
I’d also like to add that Persona 2 is showing up the wrong price ($29.99) on both Media Go, and through my PSP.
@93 stop ur damn trollin about is ur stupid mw3 going to be in or on the psn… get over it and get urself a NEW SYSTEM… with that now being out of the way lol… This update sux… Still no ps1 or ps2 classics plus trying to charge us $15 for a stupid app thats free on phones and pc lol ur to funny SONY… Need better updates this is complete crap. sorry…
Any word on the Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen DLC that Japan received? Is it coming to the US?
@107 im not trolling any i am asking one dang question i like to know if they ever put it in psn store and im not wast money on new system and i only want to buy mw3 from psn store ik it not get stolen
Skype…
Guys. Persona 2 dropped in price to $29.99 from $39.99. Dunno why it was listed here as down to $14.99 as that is incorrect. It is higher priced than Persona 1 and 3 because it is the most recently released on PSP.
Looks like nothing for me with week yet again. i really wish these lame/dull updates would stop once the Vita came out, but it seems like Sony is up to their act yet again like with the PSP. i understand not every update can have a Vita game, but wouldnt common sense be to put up Psp games during that time? I mean we still dont have Crisis Core, or Kingdom Hearts, or other classic psp game you can profit from yet dont do it. And please dont tell me its all the devs fault because i have contacted not only Square Enix, but Bandai, and Namco for various games and have all gave me different answers most dealing with Sony not asking.
Granted the Armoured Core, and Persona sales are nice. since i have the ones i want its pretty much pointless for me. Hopefully next week will be better but i doubt it,
@John-Shooter
Why dont you stop whining and look it up on the net?
Its coming out in april and is not a pack, its 1 mission.
as nice as this all is sony, i mean come on, its been what, 3 weeks now? Alot of us got rid of our psp’s for the vita’s and still dont have access to the ps1 classic that we paid for that are just sitting in out accounts. How about a serious update to let us finally play our ps1/2 classics on our vitas!
Grace or anyone from PSN or SEN. Question from a hardcore Sony fan, was there a reason Persona 1 and 3 were removed from the Vita store? From what people are saying it is still accessible via PS3 but I dont see it anywhere on the Vita store. Hopefully someone will see this and be able to answer or correct it, I really wanna buy PERSONA 3, but unfortunately my PS3 is back in North America and im currently residing in Asia so I dont have access. PLEASE fix it so I can download it
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin Digital (Price Drop) (now $14.99, original price $29.99)
It’s showing up as $29.99 still, not $14.99
The Echo six dlc will be oout april 11
@108 ur spamming about the same stupid thing is annoying. there not going to put it on psn anytime soon and if and when they do they will announce it. put it to rest already will u.. and ur typing language sounds like ur 10yrs old
@108 give it a rest that is up to activision when it goes on the psn store they will announce it so spamming over and over again isn’t gonna change anything go email activision or go on their main forums this isn’t the place
Is Elevator Action working yet?
Last eight times I tried to play it, some annoying buzz split through my ears non-stop until I shut the game off. Going back into it, even rebooting, had no effect – it just buzzed again.
There doesn’t seem to be a support site for the title, so I ask here.
IK THIS ALREADY AND IM 24 YEAR OLD JUST TO LET U KNOW
Nice p3p price drop *goes on the vita psn* hmmm where is it? P2 is on here with the price drop, but p3p and p1 aren’t here -_- Sometimes I wonder if Sony doesn’t want my money… Still waiting on “more psp games in the following weeks, and ps1 support.” I understand that things take time but I think everyone would like a update every now and then on how things are progressing. Don’t get me wrong I love my Vita its the best hand handle I have ever bought hands down… it just feels that we’re left in the dark much of the time. (and no I don’t have a ps3 so I can’t download p3p from it)
I thought there was suppose to be a bunch of Devil May Cry avatars this week?
The PS Plus discount is not applied to Motorstorm RC DLC on the PS store on the Vita. Can this be fixed?
To the people who are asking why some PSP games are removed from the Vita store; Sony removed them because some people were exploiting certain PSP games to run unauthorized software on the Vita. Hopefully they will be back after they are patched….
i always read these in hopes to see Legend of the Dragoon and/or Chrono Cross pop up & have been sorely disappointed every time. Seriously… why why why. Bring them!
Chrono Cross is on the store. It’s 9.99
Hitman: Absolution gun avatar is stupid as it does not fit the psn id image area. ridiculous!
@124
From what I have read the only games removed due to the Vita exploits were Motorstorm for PSP and Everybody Loves Golf. If it were because of the exploit it would be removed from the store on the PS3 as well but it wasnt removed as people can still access it. Hopefully it was a mix up and they will be back shortly
Ive been browsing the web about the missing Persona games and apparently they arent showing on the PS3 anymore either. Hope it wasnt due to an exploit in them as I really want to grab them.
Wow…. SPRING FEVER SALES SUCKED BIG TIME THIS YEAR!
I swear Sony is really out of touch with what consumers really want…
“MarinoBrea:
‘I take it this game (Starhawk) won’t be “left to its fate” (thrown to the dogs) like Twisted Metal was? And since this game actually had a long and fruitful public Beta test phase the online will be looked after and actually work from day 1?’
ASILENTENIGMA:
‘P.S. – @2 Twisted Metal has been an absolute mess for the online and the online trophies’
These two nailed it. It feels as if Sony has barely supported Twisted Metal. Just over a month after release and now the game mostly works and most of the players have disappeared.”
Sony I am waiting for you to continue supporting Twisted Metal. Avatars would be a good start.
“+ polo155 on March 27th, 2012 at 2:47 pm said:
people complaining about the Sony 7.1 headset,,, mine had the interference sound in it fr a bit before but it has since gone for me.. mine work fine… idk… before it was many people complaining even on the blog here but now its just one person copy and pasting the same message everywhere.”
I can say with certainty that the issue is still there. If you’re not playing online or playing a game without voice chat, you shouldn’t hear your open mic in your headset. Anything with voice chat (and with your Sony 7.1 headset set as the mic in PS3’s accessory settings) will transmit your own voice chat in your ears along with a nice hiss when everything’s quiet.
Some people don’t even notice or they think it’s supposed to work that way. It isn’t. Implying the guy that commented earlier is just one random guy and the problem doesn’t exist anymore is completely false and you’re helping no one, Polo. Sony needs to get a fix out and soon.
Anyway, I don’t suppose there’s any chance someone at the PS Blog knows if the Magic 2012 bundle will be getting a PS Plus discount in the near future?
Hello again I have been asking about the PS2 Classics allot and asking why more haven’t come out I’ve been and Sony fan since the PS1 and been hooked on the system and its games especially RPG games since when Playstation i thing RPGs. Well anyways the PS2 and its games sold like hotcakes and allot of members want to relive there favorite PS2 games again so i don’t see why the PSN store doesn’t put more on it its a untapped gold mine cause i know if my favorite PS2 RPGs came out i buy them in a heat beat not only that allot of members want them out on the PSN cause well disk break over time but data on the store last forever just saying to my “FAVORITE COMPANY” think about it.
It was great to see Fifa 12 here, but it’s still too expensive. We have only about seven months before the new Fifa arrives, I think it should be cheaper. When are you going to release Heavy Rain on PSN? I’d like to buy that title, but I don’t want to import it, and in Brazil it’s still very expensive. I’d like to see Assassin’s Creed Revelations also on PSN USA.
Anyone in the right mind would pick up the Splinter Cell Trilogy. Also going to give Zack Zero a try. Still considering Dead Block and a big MAYBE on Closure, very iffy looking game.
And to the person above me talking down on Twisted Metal, stop complaining about the online online game worth playing Multiplayer on the PS3.
only online*
I would consider buying the Splinter Cell Trilogy but the file sizes aren’t listed for the bundle OR for the separate titles.
Also, your new listing practices when it comes to sale pricing are doing anything but encouraging purchases. Why would you all of a sudden stop listing the original price? Half of the time I don’t even know things are on sale. Is it really that difficult to state the regular price, sale price and PS+ price?
Nowhere here or on the PS store does it even say that the Splinter Cell games are on sale for regular members – if I didn’t already know that the regular price is usually higher, I wouldn’t even know there was a sale going on…
Just thought I’d mention it again. Post says Skydrift is 50% off, but on the store it’s only 25% off. Wonder if this is going to be corrected? Thanks, hope to hear something.
14.99 for Closure, which has been out for 2 years, now? Thats expensive. My opinion, thogh. Evene with my PS+ disocunt I still thinks its kinda expensive. :S
But I will probably buy the Splinter Cell trilogy :D
Any word if Silent Hill Downpour is coming to the PSN Store to purchase? On the page it lists “How to download to your PS3” so I am looking forward to knowing if its coming soon seen you have silent hill free for Playstation Plus Members so I am guessing you guys got something in store for us
Just thought I’d mention it. Post says Zack Zero is 50% off, but on the store it’s only 25% off. Is this and skydrift going to be corrected? Thanks, hope to hear something.
@137
Despite not being clear about the sale price/discount whether it’s 75% or 50% and 50% off what, I still pulled the trigger. The bundle will run you close to 10G (SC 1 is about 2.6 Gb, SC 2 is also about 2.6 Gb if I recall correctly, and SC 3 is a little over 4.5 Gb).
@140 – Oakridge
Zack Zero is $6.49, 50% off it’s full price of $12.99 for PS+ members. It is 30% off ($8.99) for everyone else. I was hoping we’d get it 50% off sale price, like we did with Hamilton’s Great Adventure last month, but doesn’t look like it.
I do hope they correct Skydrift. Dead Block is actually not 50% off either, but I already have it so I’m not worried about that one.
Is there anyway to get rid of the trolls on the blog? It’s getting annoying.
Closure is a fantastic little game. The demo sold me on it almost instantly.
Buy Closure!
Played the demo for Closure, and I’ve been following the game since it’s been announced for PS3, but WOW, after playing the demo I am sold. Just wish I had the money for it :/ Also we NEED more 2D side scrollers! Some of my favorite games are 2D side scrollers, Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim, Limbo, and now Closure seems to be another great addition. There are indeed more 2D games I didn’t mention, I never got the chance to fully play them.
One more thing: Support Eyebrow Interactive, Purchase Closure, Hopefully they’ll continue to show support for the PS3.
@142 – tylerh1701
Zack Zero has a price change not a spring fever discount unless they put it in the wrong place.
